Ireland underage international Jack Byrne has signed a new three-year deal at Premier League giants Manchester City.

The former St Kevin's midfielder is one of Ireland's best prospects and trained with the City first team in the closing months of the Premier League season.

The Dubliner has been a huge hit at the club since joining as a 15-year-old was integral to their surge into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League Youth Cup in March, further underlining to Manuel Pellegrini his readiness to step into senior football.

Byrne has also impressed while on duty for Noel King's Republic of Ireland under-21 squad.
